Unable to start Workflow manually by system account Share Point 2013

Last week I had come up with this issue. I had tried whatever I know. But for Share Point 2013 edition workflow, once the workflow is triggered, the Internal Status of the workflow instance is first changed to "Started", then ended as "Suspended".

Finally I have ended up with a conclusion that, we have to run workflow as "non-system account" for both manually and automatically.

But we still can manually run Share Point 2010 edition workflows on SharePoint 2013 with System Account.

How to change the url of a document library in SharePoint

When you create a document library in SharePoint, normally both name and url will be same. If you put any space in the library name, that makes you trouble in url. In that case if you want to change the url,

1. Login as site collection admin.
2. Open the site in SharePoint Designer
3. Locate "All Files" from left hand navigation pane, which will open all folders in your site on the right.
4. Right Click on the list that you want to change the URL/Web Address for and choose "Rename"

Renaming the library will not make any change to the attached workflow, the Workflow history as well as version history will update with new url.

However, we have to re-save the List Title/Description/Navigation settings because the left nav link did not get updated. Open the new library url in browser. Go to library settings, click on List name ,description and navigation and do save.

Hope this helps..

How to change FireFox’s default Accept header to JSON

As everyone knows SharePoint 2013 REST APS doesn’t understand the $json, it will render its result in XML, however there are quite a few tools there that can convert XML to JSON. Here I have used the default “Accept” HTTP header of the FireFox browser to see JSON. Steps to change this as follows.

1.  In the address bar in FireFox, type “about:config”.
2.  Click the “I promise” button.
3.  In the search bar type “network.http.accept.default”.
4.  Double-click the Preference Name.
5.  Enter the String value as "application/json;odata=verbose"

Now when we use FireFox to view WebApi results it defaults to JSON and not XML

An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: There was no endpoint listening SharePoint 2013

Recently I got stuck with the below issue while publishing workflow. When I checked the Event viewer got the following Error.

"An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: There was no endpoint listening athttp://localhost:32843/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/securitytoken.svc/actas that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action ."

The issue is generally caused by the service application is not provision, and the application pool for the service application is not running.

To fix the issue, please follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Information Manager(IIS)
2. Go to "Application Pools"
3. Select "SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool", ensure its status is "Start".
4. After that, open "SharePoint 2013 Management Shell". Run the following command:
   

   $sts = Get-SPServiceApplication | ?{$_ -match "Security"}
   $sts.Status
   $sts.Provision()

5. Do IISReset
